We had a lovely stay at Gill’s place. The house was clean and extremely well equipped—perfect for a relaxing holiday. Waipu Cove beach and the café were just a one-minute drive away, which was very convenient. The garden was absolutely gorgeous; you could easily lose track of time just enjoying it. I highly recommend Gill’s place.

Charming holiday home

We are a couple with a little wire-haired dachshund and loved our stay. The property is secure and private with a delightful garden. The attractive accommodation had everything we could have wished for. A family crisis cut our stay short, but we will definitely be returning.
